Sporadic Spin-orbit Variations in Compact Multiplanet Systems and Their Influence on Exoplanet Climate

Sporadic Spin-orbit Variations in Compact Multiplanet Systems and Their Influence on Exoplanet Climate

Climate modeling has shown that tidally influenced terrestrial exoplanets, particularly those orbiting M-dwarfs, have unique atmospheric dynamics and surface conditions that may enhance their likelihood to host viable habitats. However, sporadic libration and rotation induced by planetary interactio...
